Jonathan McReynolds' song 'People' is a heartfelt plea for deliverance from the pain and frustration caused by human relationships. The lyrics describe the struggle of being hurt by others—whether through betrayal, criticism, or simply the weight of negative interactions. McReynolds acknowledges that while God can heal from anything, the damage inflicted by people feels uniquely overwhelming. He asks for forgiveness when he himself becomes one of those hurtful people. The song reflects a raw, honest cry for God's intervention and healing from relational wounds, echoing biblical themes of forgiveness and reliance on God's grace.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
They are the best and the worst you've created
Loving and hating and opinionated
Loners in basements and those congregated
Deliver me
Far from the peaceful shore I was sinking
Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking
Don't know what validation I was seeking
Deliver me, from
People, people
When you said you could heal me from anything
Did you mean
People, people
Deliver me
Cus I can't point 'em out
I won't say their names
I don't know the damage
Or which one to blame
It's just
People, people
Deliver me
She was the reason I smiled in the morning
He took the last bit of joy I was storing
That's too much power for anything human
Deliver me, from
People, people
I know you can heal me from anything
What about
People, people
Deliver me
Cus I can't point 'em out
I won't say their names
I don't know the damage
Or which one to blame
It's just
People, people
Deliver me
Oh
The hurt are hurting
And the broken are breaking
And the ones who had their joy taken away
Are out here taking
From other
People, people
People, people
Forgive these
People, people
Heal me from
People, people
Crazy
(People, people)
Trollin'
(People, people)
Self-righteous
(People, people)
Entitled
(People, people)
Hatin'
(People)
Lyin'
(People)
Disrespectful
(People, people)
Forgive me when I'm one of those
People, people
Deliver me
